Re: Leaking alkaline cells
My dad did that, but he made the mistake of putting them in a ziplock bag, with the electronics. The cells leaked, and the confined funes destroyed the electronics. [email protected]> wrote:

Whoa, they most certainly will, and did all the time. Direct observation as a kid in the 1970s, in countless toys and flashlights. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
I suspect that all manufacturers' designers of primary cells are accountants. I have found no brand of cells that don't leak, even before their use-by date. Now, I envelop primary cells in a sealed

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
Many kids my age would use the carbon rods to make wet batteries with a zinc plate in a solution of ammonium chloride. We also would use them to make cheap electric welders powered directly from a 120

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
It amalgamates with the zinc to supposedly help prevent the formation of 'gas,' which pressurizes the cell, and causes the seals to fail... so they say. Anyway per D alkaline cell... about 100 mg? of

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
I am the only unlucky one. Eveready (a.k.a. neveready) use to leak all the time... back in the day when bicycle headlights used to use them. Made a right mess.

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
The Harbor Freight "Thunderbolt" brand batteries are alkaline. Having paid a little over $0.20 per AA cell I decided couldn't go wrong. Greg

After a bit more research, it seems that was an external hard drive option. The LA came to me without any external HD or cable.

Re: Selling a 16702B w/SD2SCSI, 003, 009
Alexandre, sorry for the late reply. The 'removable' hard drive wasn't in any kind of sled or carriage. It was just a common 3.5 inch hard drive with a SCSI SCA connector.

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
Yeah but they had those neat carbon rods that could be used for other things.

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
Yeah - I was wondering on what planet Zinc-Carbon batteries didn't leak. That's acidic chemistry, and alkalines when they finally came along were a god-send because the alkaline leakage was so much

That is exactly what I have done. Zero leakage even after those ultimate lithiums are flat dead. Peter

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
I don't know whether it's a manufacturing difference but down here in Australia my experience has been that Duracells are not as bad as some of the USA based commenters have described. The worst

I now keep 9 VDC, AA and AAA cells separately, and next to, devices that need them. My Kestrel was repairable using vinegar. My Garmin was not, but the iPhone fills that need. My other "toys",

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
From what I read many years ago, there used to be a trace amount of Mercury in Alkaline cells, and they didn't leak. It was after environmentalists demanded its removal that the leaks started.
